            CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         (IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)


1.   GENERAL

          The information contained in the following notes to the
consolidated financial statements is condensed from that which would appear
in the annual consolidated financial statements; accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by MAXXAM Group
Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1994 (the "Form 10-K").  All references to the "Company"
include MAXXAM Group Inc. and its subsidiary companies unless otherwise
indicated or the context indicates otherwise.  Accounting measurements at
interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year
end.  The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.


          The consolidated financial statements included herein are
unaudited; however, they include all adjustments of a normal recurring
nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly
the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 1995 and
the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.  Certain reclassifications of prior period
information have been made to conform to the current presentation.  The
Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of MAXXAM Inc. ("MAXXAM").

2.   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

          At March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, cash and cash
equivalents includes $4,764 and $19,439, respectively, which is restricted
for debt service payments on the 7.95% Timber Collateralized Notes due
2015.

5.   CONTINGENCIES

          The Company's operations are subject to a variety of California
and, in some cases, federal laws and regulations dealing with timber
harvesting, endangered species, water quality and air and water pollution.
The Company does not expect that compliance with such existing laws and
regulations will have a material adverse effect on the Company's future
operating results or financial position.  There can be no assurance,
however, that future legislation, governmental regulations or judicial or
administrative decisions would not adversely affect the Company or its
ability to sell lumber, logs or timber.

          Various groups and individuals have filed objections with the
California Department of Forestry ("CDF") regarding the CDF's actions and
rulings with respect to certain of the Company's timber harvesting plans
("THPs"), and the Company expects that such groups and individuals will
continue to file objections to the Company's THPs.  In addition, lawsuits
are pending and threatened which seek to prevent the Company from 
implementing certain of its approved THPs and undertaking other timber
harvesting operations.  These challenges have severely restricted The Pacific
Lumber Company's ("Pacific Lumber," a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company) ability to harvest virgin old growth redwood timber on its
property during the past few years, as well as substantial amounts of
virgin Douglas-fir timber which are located in virgin old growth redwood
stands.  No assurance can be given as to the extent of such litigation in
the future.  The Company believes that environmentally focused challenges
to its THPs are likely to occur in the future, particularly with respect to 
residual old growth timber.  Although such challenges have delayed or prevented
the Company from conducting a portion of its operations, to date such 
challenges have not had a material adverse effect on the Company's 
consolidated financial position or results of operations.  It is, however, 
impossible to predict the future nature or degree of such challenges or 
their ultimate impact on the operating results or consolidated financial 
position of the Company. 

          The Company is also involved in various claims, lawsuits and
proceedings relating to a wide variety of other matters.  While there are
uncertainties inherent in the ultimate outcome of such matters and it is
impossible to presently determine the ultimate costs that may be incurred,
management believes the resolution of such uncertainties and the incurrence
of such costs should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The following should be read in conjunction with the response to
Part I, Item 1 of this Report and Items 7 and 8 of the Form 10-K.  Any
capitalized terms used but not defined in this Item have the same meaning
given to them in the Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The Company's business is highly seasonal in that the Company has
historically experienced lower first and fourth quarter sales due largely
to the general decline in construction related activity during the winter
months. Accordingly, the Company's results for any one quarter are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.  The
following table presents selected operational and financial information for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

          Shipments
          Lumber shipments to third parties for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 were virtually unchanged from the three months ended March
31, 1994.  Decreased shipments of upper grade redwood lumber were mostly
offset by increased shipments of redwood common lumber.  Log shipments for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 were .5 million feet (net Scribner
scale), a decrease from 5.5 million feet for the three months ended March
31, 1994.

          Net sales
          Revenues from net sales of lumber and logs for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 decreased as compared to the three months ended March
31, 1994.  This decrease was principally due to lower shipments of logs and
upper grade redwood lumber and decreases in the average realized prices for
common grade Douglas-fir and redwood common lumber, partially offset by an
increase in the average realized price for upper grade redwood lumber and
increased shipments of redwood common lumber.  The increase in other sales
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1994 was attributable to increased sales of wood chips.

          Operating income
          Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 1995
decreased as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1994.  This
decrease was principally due to lower sales of lumber and logs, partially
offset by lower costs of lumber sales and increased sales of wood chips. 
Costs of lumber sales decreased due to lower purchases of logs from third
parties and improved sawmill productivity.

          Income (loss) before income taxes
          The loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31,
1995, as compared to income before income taxes for the three months ended
March 31, 1994, resulted from a decrease in investment, interest and other
income and the decrease in operating income as discussed above. 
Investment, interest and other income for the three months ended March 31,
1994 included a franchise tax refund of $7.2 million (the substantial
portion of which represented interest) from the State of California.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
          As of March 31, 1995, the Company had consolidated long-term debt
of $730.5 million (net of current maturities and restricted cash deposited
in the Liquidity Account) as compared to $736.4 million at December 31,
1994.  The decrease in long-term debt was primarily due to principal
payments on the Timber Notes.

          The Company conducts its operations through its principal
operating subsidiaries, Pacific Lumber and Britt Lumber Co., Inc.
("Britt").  The indentures governing the Pacific Lumber Senior Notes and
the Timber Notes and Pacific Lumber's Revolving Credit Agreement contain
various covenants which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends
and restrict transactions between Pacific Lumber and its affiliates.  As of
March 31, 1995, under the most restrictive of these covenants,
approximately $17.0 million of dividends could be paid by Pacific Lumber. 
On March 31, 1995, Pacific Lumber paid dividends of $5.0 million.

          In March 1995, Britt paid dividends consisting of $6.0 million of
receivables from its parent, MAXXAM Properties Inc. ("MPI," a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company).  These receivables represented prior cash
advances from Britt to MPI.

<PAGE>

          The indenture governing the MGI Notes contains various covenants
which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends and restrict
transactions between the Company and its affiliates.  As of March 31, 1995,
under the most restrictive of these covenants, approximately $3.3 million
of dividends could be paid by the Company.

          As of March 31, 1995, $20.0 million of borrowings was available
under Pacific Lumber's Revolving Credit Agreement, of which $5.0 million
was available for letters of credit.  No borrowings were outstanding as of
March 31, 1995, and letters of credit outstanding amounted to $10.0
million.  Pacific Lumber has signed a commitment letter with the bank
which will amend the Revolving Credit Agreement to extend its maturity date
to May 31, 1998 and provide for an additional $30.0 million of available
borrowings.

          The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations, together
with existing cash, marketable securities and available sources of
financing, will be sufficient to fund the working capital and capital
expenditures requirements of the Company and its respective subsidiaries
for the foreseeable future; however, due to its highly leveraged condition,
the Company is more sensitive than less leveraged companies to factors
affecting its operations, including governmental regulation affecting its
timber harvesting practices, increased competition from other lumber
producers or alternative building products and general economic conditions.

TRENDS

          During the first quarter, severe weather conditions in northern
California hampered Pacific Lumber's timber harvesting operations and
shipments of lumber.  Heavy rainfall impeded access to logging roads which
prevented normal harvesting operations, and caused extended rail shutdowns
and other transportation delays, thereby affecting deliveries and
shipments of lumber.  Continued rainfall in April and early May created
conditions not conducive to conducting  harvesting operations as Pacific
Lumber had initially planned. Timber harvesting is highly seasonal in that
Pacific Lumber conducts the material portion of  its logging operations in
the months of April through November of each year; accordingly, log
inventories are generally at or near their lowest levels by the end of
March. Compounding the seasonally low log inventories and weather-related
constraints on its log supplies and deliveries, a temporary restraining
order ("TRO") was granted which required Pacific Lumber to cease all timber
harvesting operations on one of the few all-season harvest sites from which 
it has been able to supplement its declining log inventories.  A preliminary
injunction hearing was held on May 5, 1995 at which the court did not issue
a preliminary injunction or lift the TRO but took the matter under
advisement.  See Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings--Timber Harvesting
Litigation."  Further, delays in the regulatory process have resulted from
both objections filed with, and litigation against, the CDF by
environmentally active groups regarding the CDF's actions with respect to
the CDF's THP approval process in general, and certain of Pacific Lumber's
THPs in particular.  Such delays have impeded Pacific Lumber's ability to
conduct normal timber harvesting operations on its timberlands. This
combination of seasonal operations, severe weather, judicial action
and regulatory delays forced Pacific Lumber to curtail operations at one of
its four sawmills, and to temporarily idle another sawmill for the period
from April 17 to May 2, 1995.

     Additional judicial actions adverse to Pacific Lumber, further
regulatory delays and/or continued inclement weather in northern California
could further exacerbate the problems experienced during the first quarter
and affect Pacific Lumber's results of operations in the second quarter. 
Furthermore, the collective impact of such judicial actions and regulatory
delays, together with difficulties caused by bad weather, may again force
Pacific Lumber to temporarily idle or curtail operations at certain of its
lumber mills from time to time until it can secure an adequate supply of
logs to sustain operations.

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          Reference is made to Item 3 of the Form 10-K for information
concerning material legal proceedings withrespect to the Company.  The
following material developments have occurred with respect to such legal
proceedings.  Any capitalized or italicized terms used but not defined in
this Item have the same meaning given to them in the Form 10-K.

          In connection with the Miller action, on April 10, 1995, the U.S.
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal of this case; 
the appellate court made other findings reversing in part and
affirming in part the other decisions made by the U.S. District Court in
response to plaintiffs' and defendants' motions for summary judgment. 
Defendants have sought rehearing of this decision by the U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals.  Presently, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal has formal
jurisdiction of the case and it is uncertain whether the case will be
remanded to the U.S. District Court for trial preparation and trial on the
merits while the motion for rehearing or any further appeal is pending.

TIMBER HARVESTING LITIGATION

          In connection with Sierra Club, et al. v. CDF, et al. (No. 95 
DR 0072), involving Pacific Lumber and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Scotia
Pacific Holding Company ("SPHC") and Salmon Creek Corporation, on May 1,
1995, the Court heard plaintiffs' request for preliminary injunction and
Pacific Lumber's request for dismissal of the case.

          On April 11, 1995, EPIC and others filed an action entitled
Thron, et al. v. Pacific Lumber, et al. (No. 95 DR 0100) in Superior Court
of Humboldt County.  This action relates to THP No. 95-042 for
approximately 198 acres of residual old-growth timber; plaintiffs also
complain about four other THPs in the same watershed as THP No. 95-042 and
have indicated they intend to litigate those THPs if they are approved by CDF. 
The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants
have violated CEQA and the Forest Practice Act, and seek, among other
things, to prevent harvesting pursuant to this CDF-approved THP.  Also, on
April 11, 1995, the court granted a TRO staying all timber harvesting
operations in connection with THP No. 95-042 pending its decision on
plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction.  The preliminary
injunction hearing was held on May 5, 1995 at which the court left the TRO
in effect and took the matter under advisement.
